Shower of Blessings - Softcover

Shower of Blessings is one of the most beloved guruyogas of Tibetan Buddhism. Focused on Guru Padmasambhava and written by Jamgön Mipham, one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it is widely practiced in both Asian and Western monasteries and centers. Based on a seminar he gave at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra in 2007, Lama Yeshe Gyamtso’s commentary explains the meaning of this guruyoga as well as how to practice it.

Jamgon Mipham (1846-1912) was one of the greatest teachers of his time, and is considered to have been an emanation of Manjushri. His writings remain the basis for much of the study conducted by the Nyingma school of Buddhism, and by other traditions such as the Karma Kagyu.Mipham embodied the nonsectarian movement of the nineteenth century, and studied with masters of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. His root guru was the nonsectarian master Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. His other teachers included both Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye and Dza Paltrul Rinpoche.
